I´m so sorry I´ve dropped off the face of the earth for a month. Thanks for all the well wishes on my birthday. I didn´t do much, just laid around and watched season five of the Gilmore Girls. I needed it, as I´ve been keeping a crazy schedule. My friends Jennifer and Katie also came over for dinner, so that was nice. Irene and Dori had me over for cake and lunch too. Iñaki was an all-star and got me a ton of cool stuff. My old dinosaur computer from GFU now has WiFi, so that´s cool.
Other than that, I hurt my back a bit a week or so ago, but it healed quickly. I should do a whole other blog on how Iosu stretched me out and the amount of awkwardness that occurred.
I´ve been teach-teach-teaching lately. I do my own lessons for the school and all my other classes, so it´s some great experience for the future. I teach grade levels 2-6 and have 2 business classes, two individual classes and various little groups of kids in Zizur. I have my biusiness classes early in the morning and then start at the school around 10 each day and finish at 1. Depending on the day, I have more classes for the acadamia or some of my own to teach in the afternoon. It´s so busy. It´s getting pretty hard to stay motivated to play hoops and I´m missing more practices than I ever have in life! But, I don´t really feel bad about it.
I´ll be home for Christmas for 3 weeks, woopie! Leaving here the 18th and coming back the 8th. I really need a recharge from home.
So, I want to show you all more of my apartment. I decided it will never be totally clean, so I´m just going to give you the actual tour instead of the cleaned up version.
This is me in my usual teaching garb. Inlingua is the acadamia I work for and they gave me a sweet bag! I bought this jacket for myself for my birthday, it´s super chulo, I think. And, as always, rockin´the iPod.
This is our kitchen door, which is pretty, so I wanted to show it. But, the actual kitchen really is too messy to show.
This is the hallway as you come in the front door. We call the rug sort of thing on the wall to the left "the mop."
Moving down the hallway to the left, here´s what you see...
The first two doors on the right are Iñaki and my bathrooms. His is the first, mine is the second. At times we refer to his as his office. On the left side, which you can´t really see, is the door to the first guest room, which is where I have all my teaching stuff and where we do our laundry. Here´s where the mess starts. Really, it´s a utility room, so it can be messy.
This next one is of the actual guest room at the end of the hall. It´s quite cute with twin beds and bright bedspreads, but has becaome our walk-in closet. Don´t worry, if you come visit, it´ll be nice again. We´re still having issues figuring out the huge japanese lantern that covers the light. It reminds me of that one Whit had in her room forever that she bought at a garage sale and probably ended up getting beaten down.
Now, here is our room, which I love. It´s usually clean, and is true to form here.
The bed´s low to the ground and has the phases of the moon on the headboard. That door leads out onto the terrace which you´ll see in a sec. This next one is of our cool closet on the other side of the room.
Here is the fabulous view from our terrace and then a shot that looks back into our room from the terrace...
And that´s your virtual tour! I hope it gives you a better idea of where I live. I better run because I need to plan my next lesson with two little 10 year old girls, classes for tomorrow and my practice for this evening with my team. We lost our first game by the way, but only by 122 and wee scored 38! Vast improvement from the 25 to 0 finish at the tournament. Love you all, and send me your updates!
